Diasonics: Ornithology (transparent vinyl) LP

Following their 2022 critically acclaimed debut album, "Origin Of Forms" (named Library Music Album of the Year at PopMatters), the Moscow-based instrumental outfit The Diasonics return with "Ornithology", a sophomore album that pushes their sonic boundaries forward while staying true to their unmistakable style. Recorded at their custom-built Studio 23 - housed in a repurposed Soviet-era lamp factory - the album captures the result of two years of intense creative exploration and experimentation. With their very signature blend of cinematic funk, Eastern-flavored melodies, instrumental hip-hop and analog soul, The Diasonics have carved out a unique space in the global funk scene. "Ornithology" marks a new chapter: inspired by recurring avian themes in their surroundings, from trains and stations to local folklore and the cries of birds circling their studio, the record channels ideas of movement and freedom, both thematically and musically.
